opportunity to continue to serve and contribute, if confirmed. >> reporter: as he took over cia, holly, his wife of 37 years, stood by his side, as she had done so many times before. the two had met at west point. she was from a long line of army royalty. her great, great grandfather fought in the civil war. her own father was a retired four-star general. the president phrased the direct director's dead dedication and patriotism. and his thoughts were with dave and holly petraeus. now, it's the petraeus family that faces the strain of a deeply personal failure. but the nation's top spy has the to be above reproach. he had to go. such a revelation was simply devastating. bianna? >> some people still stunned. pierre, thank you. now, to the woman at the center of the scandal. biographer paula broadwell. it was the investigation into her that led to the downfall of
4:05 am
petraeus. broadwell had been public about what was described as an unusually close relationship with the general. now, at some point, that relationship turned into an affair. like petraeus, broadwell also had an impressive background. and now, a reputation in shambles. our coverage continues with reena ninan. >> reporter: they are both known as overachievers. as paula broadwell was making rounds in the media for her 400-page biographer about the four-star general. it's not the only one that the fbi is eager to learn more about their relationship. paula broadwell, lifelong overachiever since high school in north dakota, where she was valedictorian and homecoming queen. went on to receive honors for academic leadership at west point. and was ranked number one overall in fitness in her class. she spent some time in the black ops, got a free from harvard. and later, became biographer

4:08 am
side and the spending side has to be looked at. >> reporter: it sounded like a deal to avoid that fiscal cliff of tax hikes, $3,700 for the average family, and massive spending cuts, all possibly sending us back into recession. it sounded like a deal is possible. but then -- >> i refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced. >> reporter: that means more tax money. >> raising tax rates will slow down our ability to create the jobs that everyone says they want. >> reporter: and that's the problem. the president declared the election proof that americans agree with his approach, including the rich paying more, even though the congressional budget office says letting taxes increase for the rich, could cost 200,000 jobs. >> it would be a negative. but it would be digestible. and i think at the end of the day, necessary to address our long-term fiscal policy. the opening negotiating position from the republicans seems to be, don't increase tax
4:09 am
rates. but get rid of some deductions to bring in more tax money. that may not be enough to keep us from going over that fiscal cliff. but that fall may be enough to force political leaders to finally do something. >> if we do nail this down, reasonably so, i think the economy's off and running. so, we're just one piece of legislation away from a much stronger economy. >> reporter: but getting that one piece of legislation may prove very difficult. the president said the voters picked his path. and the house speaker, rightly points out that americans did return the republican house. divided government. the question, bianna, can they unite to avoid this fiscal cliff? >> that is the big question. david, thank you. and now, to the very angry and frustrated victims of hurricane sandy. hundreds of thousands still without power and demanding answers, some 12 days after the devastating storm hit. as the long lines show, getting gas is still a big problem around parts of new york, as well. but what's not a problem is getting a special delivery in
